Pelle Lindbergh was one of the rising stars of the NHL after winning theVezina trophy (best goalie in the NHL) and leading the Philadelphia Flyersto the finals, both in 1985. At 26, he seemingly had his whole life aheadof him. On November 10th, 1985 Pelle crashed his Porshe in Somerdale, NJand died the following day. Two others survived the accident.
